It is already included as part of the *.desktop files standar to have an [Action][1] section. It allows to launch a program under various parameters and have those variants available through a right-click menu. I think Unity has a very decent implementation of this feature. But we lack it completely in KDE. Examples under other OSs: -Unity quicklists: http://images.maketecheasier.com/2011/05/unity-firefox.jpg -Windows jump-lists: http://s.techairlines.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Firefox-Jump-List.jpg Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Right click on any *.desktop file containing an [Action] section as defined per standar Actual Results: Menu pops up no including the [Action] section. Expected Results: Menu shuold reflect the entries under the [Action] section of the .desktop file [1] Reference to the specification: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s08.html
Sorry there is a mistake, the web address for the .desktop file reference which describes the [Action] sections is this: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s05.html
